The session was very tumultuous, as most senators wanted open voting, but by decision of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) the vote had to be to be closed.
Senators then decided to raise the rostrum with ballot papers in hand and to announce the vote. As was the case of Senators Capixabas Fabiano Contarato (Network) and Marcos do Val (PPS). Contarato commented on the decision
"We chose Davi Alcolumbre, with 42 votes, as president of the federal Senate, in the next biennium.
I made it clear from the start that the Brazilian population was going to know my vote in the presidency of the Federal Senate
I voted twice for Davi Alcolumbre.I voted for renewal.
I have never been as embarrbaded as the first day and I confess at times.
I was elected to uphold the law and respect the public interest, not the groups that day. I apologized to the Senate representatives, but I think the 81 senators should have asked for forgiveness, we have seen unfortunate and useless scenes.
We will now have the sequence of the composition of the Bureau and we will have to elect the other members. will do everything with the same finesse, the same transparency
I will be an eight-year-old senator fighting to honor the people's vote for democracy and renewal.
I think that the secret ballot for the election of the President of the Federal Senate (decision of the President of the STF, Dias Toffoli) and the other members of the Presidential Council was exceeded and did not respect the vote of the Brazilian voters
] During the session, I appealed this decision which led to the vote by secret ballot. I have defended the open vote and President David Alcolumbre is committed to having the federal Senate prevail. I think that's the way to do it. "
